Well, here we go, my first fic here at fanfiction.net. This is the prologue, and I am not sure as to how many chapters I'll write, but I promise to get them up as fast as I can.
First up, Ye Olde Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ, the characters, blah, blah, blah.
Also, a note about names. I use the English (Funimation) names for characters. Most of you reading this probably watch their dubs, and that makes things much less confusing. I also leave out Japanizations (kassan, etc.) and I keep things pretty much done the American way. I mean no disrespect to the Japanese by this, they brought us this great show/manga/obsession and deserve high praise for it.
Finally, I got the idea for this from an episode of the Power Puff Girls, so you know it will be interesting at least.
And now, on with the fic:
The Z Warriors Face Their Greatest Challenge : A RolePlaying Game?
"Well," Goku said, "that was a great party, Bulma. Sorry I was so late!" And, with that, Goku flashed his trademark stupid grin and Chi Chi smacked him.
(Author's Note : The party Goku is refering to is the one in episode 288 after the fight with Buu. Get those fansubs if you want to see it!)
"But, Goku, its not over yet," the unassuming Dende said. "I have a surprise for everyone. We are going to play a 'role playing game.' I see that no one knows what that is, so I will explain. In this game, we all pretend we are other people and tell each other what these characters are doing. This is a simple game, we're going to play one based on ourselves!" When Dende said this, everyone just gave him a blank face that signified they had absolutely no idea what he was talking about. "Ok, how about an example. Let's say that Goku here is playing as Tien and Yamcha is playing as Chaotzu (?). Goku, you have to act like Tien and Yamcha, you do what Chaotzu would do, ok?" Both nodded. "Good, now, lets say that you are in the mountains, training. Goku, what is Tien doing?"
Goku stopped, thought for a second, then looked around the room. "He's sitting in that chair, drinking punch," he said.
"No, no, no... I mean your character, Tien. The one training in the mountain!"
"Oh, well, uh...what would you DO in a situation like that, Tien?" Goku asked. Tien looked at him for a moment, and then Goku said "Oh, wait, I know! I'm not supposed to ask you, right? I have to figure it out! Uh....well, Tien is doing push-ups! Yeah, that's what he's doing!"
"Ok, Tien is doing push-ups, in the snow, in the mountains. Got it. Now, Yamcha, what is Chaotzu doing?" Dende asked.
"Hey, wait a minute!" Tien shouted. "Why am I doing push-ups in the snow???"
"Because, uh... that's what I would do," Goku said sheepishly.
"But you aren't me!" Tien responded.
"Calm down, Tien. He isn't you, he is just pretending, you see?" Chaotzu said, trying to calm Tien down.
"Oh, ok... I guess," Tien said, calming down.
"Well, back to the game!" Yamcha said. "Chaotzu is relaxing by a tree, looking for babes."
And, before Dende could respond, Chaotzu jumped Yamcha. "I don't look for babes, you idiot! Only YOU look for 'babes' while training!"
Tien pulled Chaotzu off of Yamcha, saying "Remember, its only a game..." Chaotzu now calmed down a bit, but was still on edge.
"Ok," Dende said. "Now that we understand what we're doing, basically, I'll explain the rules of the game, then we'll actually pick characters and get playing."
"Ok," everyone responded as Dende pulled out a book and started teaching everyone how to play the game.
